News: Neocore Games has just released the sequel to Van Helsing and you can bring over your character from the original game.

The Incredible Adventures of Van Helsing II is now available on Xbox One according to Neocore Games. The Incredible Adventures of Van Helsing II on Xbox One continues the tale of the world's most famous monster-hunter and is an improvement on the first chapter in every way. Originally having appeared on PC, The Incredible Adventures of Van Helsing II offers an improved tower defense mini-game, expanded skill-trees, three classes, improved multiplayer experience, and new gameplay features that make for a more complex and entertaining monster-hunt. In addition to the new features, players can now transfer their level 30 characters from Van Helsing I on Xbox One and continue the story where they left off.

It all seemed so simple: Defeat the mad scientist, free the land and ride into the sunset; but sometimes the fall of the villain only unleashes more sinister adversaries. The incredible adventures continue, and Van Helsing, the famous monster-hunter, returns to save the day with the help of his charming companion, Lady Katarina. The gothic metropolis of weird science is on the brink of destruction as chaos rules the streets and a new enemy plots revenge. It is time to enter the dark side of Borgovia and the forbidden wilderness, but beware: you are not the only one behind a mask.

Some of the features for the Xbox One version include:

A New Adventure - The incredible adventures continue, and Van Helsing, the famous monster-hunter, returns to save the day again with his witty companion, Lady Katarina.

New Skills, Tricks and Auras - Twice as many skills, brand new tricks and auras will help players fight this epic battle against a mysterious enemy.

Updated Tower-Defense Mini-Game - With enemies invading in waves, players have the opportunity to defend their Lair and other strategic locations with deployable traps and several upgradable functions to ward off evil, now with improved gameplay mechanics and up to seven levels, presented as optional side-quests.
